I guess I really don't need a kernel device. This is what i'm doing:
There is a video stream coming through in RTP or MPEG2TS, and I want
to create an application that takes that stream and makes it available
as a V4L device. I keep using the word device here because I want
applications like mplayer and mythtv to be able to have access to the
device.
This is what I need advice on, maybe how to get started. Thanks.
